• Hype-Austin has been put on an ELITE HS pedestal, with the likes of LeBron, Bassy, Mayo.
• Stardom-It is as if he was "Born Ready" to be destined for greatness. He is the son of a NBA coach, so that demands all the attention of all basketball fans. Not to mention he works on ballhandling with Rondo, shooting drills with Allen, and 1 on 1 game with Pierce.
• Fame-The biggest question is, once he reaches the NBA level how big will he be. Will he be "LeBron Big" to command all the attention as being a icon.

I don’t always like the intense hype Rivers is getting since he hasn’t proven anything at the collegiate level where there will be much more athletic defenders, but I do think he’ll at least average something around 17 points per game because he’ll be taking a lot of the scoring load for next year’s Duke team.

In my Duke fan dreams, I see him averaging 25 ppg but again I think that is too much of an expectation for a freshman in college.

I believe that he might have a Harrison Barnes type of an adjustment early on in the season and then will start lighting it up towards the end of ACC play.

Austin has game, but is he a two or one? He is a good athlete, but not elite like Rose or Westbrook. He has a straight scorers mentality, kind of reminds me DAJUAN WAGNER. He will be able to shine in college, Im not sure if he will be a superstar in the NBA, but he will be a good pro, Im just not certain how good.
